Here are answers to some common questions about proactive Physical Therapy care with Dr. Megan DPT:

What is a Physical Therapist?

What should I expect during my first physical therapy evaluation?

Your first visit with Dr. Megan DPT will be a comprehensive assessment. We will discuss your medical history and goals, followed by a physical evaluation of your posture, movement, strength, and flexibility.

Can physical therapy help me avoid surgery?
